CFD modeling of compact methanol reformer

Maximum overall effectiveness of the fuel processor is achieved at the value of methanol feed equal 17.24 mmol/min (GHSV = 12,424 h−1) and 8.75 mmol/min (GHSV = 16,632 h−1) in the reformer and in the combustor, respectively. Under these conditions the hydrogen performance is equal to 70.0 l/h (48.7 mmol/min) and the temperature is equal to 286.4 °C in the reformer.
